Don't do anything to the tranny. It's already been 175,000 miles without any sort of service. All of the gunk is what is holding the tranny up. Servicing it will only lead to problems. I've heard that from a lot of people. But it's a 2001 F150

If you touch that transmission at this point you will be sorry unless you want to replace it. Yep ^^^^^^^

What does the fluid look and smell like Mike , it may be fine as in already done periodicity
If it's somewhat clean and doesn't smell burnt you are probably ok changing it

Transmission fluid is extremely high detergent (if you want to clean your engine, put a quart of tranny fluid in your crankcase about 500 miles before a change), when you change to new fluid it detaches the built up gunk into sludge, which starts sticking valves and solenoid. If it hasn't been maintained regularly, don't touch it.
Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone elses.

Some say a small leak in the pan gasket or at the radiator is a bad thing. Not for me. Mine stays replenished with new, a quart every 6000 miles or so. 1994 Chevy W/T Vortec V-6 with 385,000 miles on it. Still going....but not when it's hot, A/C has been out for 3 years now.
